Hands-On Workshop: Build Your Own Reusable AI System

Hands-On Workshop: Build Your Own Reusable AI System

Most AI advice focuses on clever prompts. This workshop gives you a solid tool you will use again and again.

At this month’s Social Media Breakfast Houston, Kami Huyse and Jennifer Texada will show you how to stop starting from scratch every time you sit down with AI. In the first half hour, they’ll break down what a Smart Card is and why it turns scattered prompting into a repeatable system.

Then it’s build time!

You’ll build one yourself, live, with guidance every step of the way. You’ll leave with a working Smart Card built for your own work, ready to use right away with the AI tool of your choice.

Choose to create a tool that will help you build your monthly newsletter, proposals, client reports, a press release, or something else you do regularly and would like a repeatable process to help with.

This session is hands-on.

Bring a laptop and an AI tool that lets you upload files, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot. We’ll walk through how to start a project on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Bring a real task you want AI to help with.

What you will learn:

  • How to spot and create a repeatable process you can hand off to AI.
  • What AI should do and what humans should keep control of.
  • How to organize your data and content so you aren’t trapped in one tool.
  • Why it’s worth creating a reusable Project, GPT, or Gem instead of starting over each time.
  • When it makes sense to use the desktop version of your AI tool.
  • How to set up a project in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini so your Smart Card is ready to use.

REGISTRATION

Space is limited. Please reserve your spot in advance so we can plan for breakfast and seating.

Think Visual Houston Meetup with Tracie Jae

Think Visual Houston Meetup with Tracie Jae

Join visual thinkers from all walks of life for a chill meetup at The Ion, where creativity meets visuals and fresh ideas flow freely.

Think Visual Meetups are monthly in-person events for professionals in any industry looking to expand their visual communication toolkit and be inspired by meaningful stories about the power of creativity and visual storytelling.

==========================

Making HUMAN Decisions Visible

Tracie Jae is the founder of The Quiet Rebel and creator of A More HUMAN Approachβ„’ β€” a framework helping leaders, teams, and communities make more intentional decisions.

A consultant, strategist, and facilitator with over two decades rooted in Houston’s nonprofit and civic sectors, Tracie brings a rare combination of strategic rigor and human warmth to the messiest conversations organizations face.

In this interactive Think Visual workshop, we’ll work through a shared scenario together and discover how the right questions can open up better conversations and more thoughtful outcomes.

We’ll explore:

β€” What if your next meeting ended with shared understanding instead of polite agreement?

β€” How do you move a conversation toward a decision instead of another meeting?

β€” What if your team had a shared way to think through difficult decisions?

SUGGESTED MATERIALS

Some drawing materials are provided, so bring a sketchbook, an iPad, or other drawing tools to capture ideas and make them visual!

Think Visual Meetups are monthly in-person events launched in Sydney, Australia, by Alan Chen & Diana Ayoub of Sh8peshifters.

Working with other Visual Thinkers in Australia, India, Norway, Kenya, and Houston, Think Visual! Community is truly an international collaboration.

Perfect for community organizers, consultants, facilitators, educators, counselors, artists, healthcare providers, and anyone who works with people to understand complex systems and make an impact.
